Ok, so I was lucky enough to get in on the AMD 64 3200+ and Asus mobo bundle. I'm about to try the installation. I've never built anything other than an Intel system, so I'm just wondering if there is anything specific I should be doing. Also, do I have to do a fresh install of XP after I install the cpu/mobo? What about drivers? I read in a different thread here that there is a certain order in which the drivers ought to be installed. Is that so? And where can I find the correct order of what to install?
Here's what I'm putting together, should it matter:
AMD 64 3200+
ASUS K8V SE Deluxe mobo
1024 MB Crucial RAM
2 Maxtor 160 GB hard drives
Audigy 2 Platinum sound card
GeForce 6800
Pacific Digital DVD+RW
Sony CD+RW
Thanks for your input.
